I don't know how you guys trade, but I never seem to have this problem with NFP. I don't use a stop in my trades, but I trade very very light. on a $100,000 account I trade only $10 lots.
If the market moves 50 or 100 pips, I still have a lot of margin left to play with, and by the time the market has moved 50 or 100 pips, I already have other orders in making money as the market goes against me.
For example when the EUR/USD rose to around 1.2900 I kept throwing shorts in about every 30 pips. Finally when the market hit the top of it's range I was clearing out orders left and right.
I never had more than 15% of my account tied up in margin the entire time.
Just my strategy.
